A native of the Bahamas, Nairn told the Indianapolis Star last month that Indiana coach Tom Crean told him he liked his style of play and leadership abilities. Nairn, considered one of the fastest prospects in the country, had previously considered only Oklahoma, Minnesota and Indiana, but Michigan State made a late push and he took an official visit the week prior to coming to Bloomington.

Jim Huber, Nairn’s coach with MoKan Elite, called him “the best I’ve seen in terms of natural leadership ability.”
